We're working towards the Square Kilometre Array. Take a look at past issues of our Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory Newsletter, MRO News, for local stakeholders.

Autumn 2020 Edition

Offering a message of support to all those who continue to be affected by the bushfires and floods earlier this year and the current COVID-19 events. CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, is delivering several scientific research initiatives needed to tackle each of these challenging events.

Summer 2019 Edition

In November we hosted two WA senators, Senator Slade Brockman and Senator Matt O’Sullivan. Senator Brockman attended the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties when the SKA Convention was heard and has a keen interest in the SKA project.

The SKA is steadily progressing with some exciting stages being achieved and milestones identified for delivery. The Boolardy infrastructure has received some much needed improvements, and the Curtin-led team at the MWA location is progressing the SKA-Low antenna prototype test-related activities.

It has been a very busy first quarter of the year, where a number of significant milestones have already occurred.
